Lehman creates installations of paintings, in which she combines eclectic content with painting virtuosity. The visual world Lehmann presents to us is a chaotic jumble of objects, spaces, people and actions with the dynamics of action comics.
Greeneland is a direct reference to author, journalist and British secret agent Graham Greene. Just like Greene, Lehmann creates mysterious twilight worlds that make up the setting for research, dreams and miracles.
In this third Greeneland, the Geburtstagmännchen appear, figures that are half horse, half man. It is these birthday men that make certain images possible, such as a group portrait that can be seen in a large painting of people who have died in childbirth. In the painting the post-mortem pictures of the persons portrayed are painted, just like two Geburtstagmännchen. The birthday men are sometimes small, sometimes big, or have long, sharp birthday hats that make them look like unicorns. They are the instigators of many wondrous events.
